Dear JoopSi..., Thank you so much for your great review! We are very glad that you and Kayo came back with big smile after the tour! It was longer time than normal but it means that tour must have been too happy for you to stop! That is our great pleasure. We hope we can see you again in near future! Please take care of yourselves until then.

Review of: Kyoto Cycling Tour: Gion Backstreet
Fabulous day exploring Kyoto on bikes. An organized Kyoto back street tour with Hiro (our Hero) exploring Gion district, the birthplace of Nintendo (who knew it was originally a playing card company), Higashi honganji temple - temple of Pure Land Buddhism (this is the form of Buddhism you want, very liberal as you can marry, drink, eat meat and still achieve eternal death as long as you pray.) Then to the birthplace of green tea at Ken Nin Ji temple to pay our respects before heading up the Philosophers Path to the Silver Pavillon (Ginkaku-ji Temple) which embodies the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi – the art of finding beauty in imperfection (much like us) Kyoto Cycling Tour Project - what a great way to explore this fabulous city - the most cycling friendly place I’ve experienced (traffic is so easy to ride in) and such a great way to explore this beautiful place - certainly beats walking and buses/subways/trains. Recommend hiring bikes for an extended time after tour, or for extra days to explore places on your own. Our kids are 12 and 14 and are very comfortable on bikes and riding in traffic - so recommend to families if your children are bike savvy.…

Dear louisecG4539YW Sorry to reply your review delay. our replay could not post for a few weeks because of some troubles on the web. Hiro, your giude also said that he enjoyed cycling with you and he also said that your interest about many things in Japan stimulated his mind and he enjoyed talking with you. Kyoto has various attractive places, but some of them are difficult to find for travelers. So, we started our business to show you around including these places. We are glad to hear your children were also enjoyed and looking forward to seeing you again other seasons.

Review of: Kyoto Cycling Tour: Gion Backstreet
Had a great personal cycling tour thanks to Hiro showing temples an insight in the background at an easy pace. Lot of stops with good explanations of local practices and points of interest. Would highly recommend this as a great way to learn more about Kyoto and it’s history. Hiro always ready to help with pictures answering questions really great!…

Dear BartvdVen Thank you for your participating in our private cycling tour and gave us your review. Yes, Back street tour in not only for good cycling route but also for learning the history of Kyoto as you say. And you can say that the history of Kyoto is the history of Japan. Because Kyoto had been the capital of japan for more than 1,000 years. Hiro, your guide know a lot of interesting stories of Japan that is not written in the basic history books. Please come back and join our tours again. KCTP Kaoru

Thes guys were excellent. We were referred by a friend. Chose the main office which was a 10 min walk from the Shinkansen exit of Kyoto station. Tours were full (book ahead) and private tours unavailable (book maybe 2-3 days before) but not their fault - they offered great advice on touring Kyoto by highlighting their tour routes on a detailed map. We rented bikes for 2 (not quite entire) days and received a discount because of that. Couldn't recommend more highly.…

Dear A M We are sorry not to offer the tours to you at that time. But, I am glad to hear that you went around the places I recommended and enjoyed yourselves. Of course, our private cycling tours are one of good choice to go around Kyoto. But, cycling by yourselves also great way too. You can find good places that you never expected. We will offer the tour to you next time too!! KCTP Kaoru

I can highly recommend the bike tours of Kyoto with KCTP. Traveling as a large group of 9 persons with 5 children aged between 8 and 14, the tour allowed us to see the majority of Kyoto sites with an excellent guide. We saw far more than we would have managed on our own and best of all, the kids loved it as did the adults. We saw a side of Kyoto that many tourists do not get to experience including areas away from the crowds. We did the Back Streets Tour and loved it so much we booked a second tour to see the Golden temple and bamboo forests as well as the Japanese countryside. The guides were fabulous and focused on everyone's safety and enjoyment. Highly recommended!!!!!…
